curious whether anyone considered the Ikea Galant series? They appear to offer more surface area, similar build at lower $$

Thanks for your inquiry! The Ikea Galant is a full size sitting desk. It does have a large work surface, but it does not adjust high enough to use as a standing desk. The Stand Steady is designed to sit on top of your existing desk so that you can start standing immediately without replacing your current furniture.

No I didn't consider the IKEA Galant series. I did not know about them, but it sounds like a better deal if there is more surface area and lower $$

Get a good alcad. The one they provide is a trow away item. The unit performs like a $400 unit I purchased years ago.

Yes it does, though not entirely smoothly. The pieces seemed to be manufactured with a looser spec than IKEAs, so some pieces are hard to fit together, don't fit quite right, are too tight or not level, but for the most part, works well with IKEA's.

I paid $17.99 on Amazon. But if you can get them at IKEA for $9.99, you better go for it!

I use about a quarter of the space on the small one. If they made a micro version, I would actually choose that. Some people like more space, but I hate having to move my hand all the way across the thing, which is why I set it to only use a small portion.Also, I have two 27 inch monitors, so the amount I use for one is about an eighth of the given room.

Hello Joe, I would recomment you buy the 8.6inch crystal one, it will be more powerful! About 50 x 50 room. So beautiful!

I bought the IKEA Benno CD/DVD shelf in brown-black ash for $50, cut it in half and put a base on it. It's almost the same color and just the right width for the front speakers. I think it looks better than speaker stands. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/07305310

Deeply apologize for the very late response. If youve already made a decision, disregard the following.If you've put together IKEA furniture, and havent had issues putting those pieces together, this shouldnt be too much of an issue. it is a pain to put together, they could have def simplified the design, but it isnt all that bad.have a couple of cold beverages avail and some simple tools, and you'll be good to go.Again i apologize for the late reply. I def dropped the ball on the lateness of this reply

I've never heard it asked like this, but I do like your style. Ill try my best here. Imagine a extra big Kellogg's box, ya know with the bonus or extra in it> 2 side by side. About as high and wide, gotta figure a DVD drive fits in it. its about as deep as it is high. Hope it gives you an idea, if not go to Wal*Mart and grab 2 boxes off the shelf? haha. Good case, just a little flimsy.

I actually was going to order the Ikea Alex, but when a $115 or so cabinet turned into $315 with the freight I just about fainted! I don't know if this one is better or worse, but it certainly was a better buy!!

My only comparison for a build-your-own-desk is IKEA which I think have better options. That said, I think it's worth buying for a school-aged child but not for an adult.

The Emerson, the only other one I have found which has exterior width less than 17 3/4 inches has a depression on the inside of the door and one on the inside of the back wall, so it will take our 10 5/8 inch IKEA plates with at least an eighth of and inch to spare. The back depression was clearly designed to solve this problem and is not very high. Thus, one can not put a stack of more than a couple of plates (depending on their thickness, of course) in to warm them beforehand.

Why go through the bother? The price-point of this Acer is so low, it wouldn't make much financial sense to try building your own server. When you add the cost of the case, motherboard, RAM, hard drive, network card, and then the cost of the Home Server operating system (which you have to bother yourself with to install on a headless device), what would really be gaining? Far easier, IMO, to just pull the trigger on either this Acer or something else similar (HP has a low-cost server, too, though it's got less features than the Acer, which is why I went with Acer).

From my previous post... I meant to add that if you can get over the tv & base not being exactly centered over the electronics openings by leaving one side of the shelf unit off, it still looks very nice and the TV almost fills the entire opening. Nice piece of furniture! I think it's one of the nicest looking tv cabinets and the price is not bad at all either.

That does seem a bit high for the list and selling price. The 24x18x2.25 is only $76.57 right now, which is cheaper than the 20x15. Go for that.

Because IKEA doesn't ship it online, only in-store pickup. I live within easy driving distance of an IKEA store and I'd still consider buying it here for twice the price here rather than spend half a day driving to IKEA.

I bought the metal set from Ikea for ~$10 and it fits on it perfectly. Includes a frying pan, pot, pasta drainer with lid and a small wok.
